The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X25SB is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. Its short compact envelope saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
This AirTAC ATE100X25SB is a single acting pull cylinder with a spring-extend rod, built to the ISO 21287 compact standard. Its 100 mm bore delivers a net pull of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa, already accounting for the return spring. The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing valuable space in tight automation cells.
With the optional -S magnet fitted, this model works with CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies direct coupling to tooling. For a safe working margin, plan for roughly 213 kg of vertical lift at 0.5 MPa, which is about 60% of the rated force, ensuring reliable operation without overloading the mechanism.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACE-series (ISO 21287) datasheet. Body: hard-anodized aluminium alloy; piston rod: S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. A built-in magnet is OPTIONAL — add the -S code to fit CMSE / DMSE position sensors.
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3483.6 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 4991.6 N |
Single-acting pull: the spring extends the rod; air retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa. Single-acting strokes are short (Ø12 to 10 mm, Ø16-100 to 25 mm).

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
In a stamping press, this cylinder retracts a heavy die tray after each cycle. Its 3483.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa moves the load quickly, while the compact body fits between the press frame and the conveyor.
On a high-speed parcel sorting line, the ATE100X25SB pulls a diverter gate back to the home position. The spring-extend action returns the gate if air fails, and the optional -S magnet confirms the gate is clear via a DMSE switch.
In a CNC workholding fixture, this cylinder releases a heavy clamp by pulling the locking pin. The 25 mm stroke is enough to disengage the mechanism, and the male rod thread allows a direct connection to the pin linkage.
Choose this 100 mm bore when you need a strong pulling force in a compact envelope. It provides 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa, a significant step up from the 80 mm bore's 2159.1 N, making it suitable for heavier retraction tasks. The 25 mm stroke is fixed for this single-acting pull model, so confirm your travel requirement matches before ordering. Since the spring extends the rod at rest, it will not hold a mid-stroke position if air pressure is lost. Select the -S code for the magnet to enable CMSE or DMSE sensor feedback, and choose from FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, or other ISO 21287 mountings.
Quick checklist
The ATE100X25SB delivers a net pulling force of 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with these values already accounting for the return spring. The minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ATE100X25SB's body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which helps fit into tight spaces. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
